My Twinterview with Melanie Rigney, author of Sisterhood of Saints

Before going on about author and friend, Melanie Rigney, I must admit that I got this "Twinterview" idea from author and friend, Sarah Reinhard, which involves answering questions in 140 characters or fewer. Brilliant! Now about Melanie, whom I've known for a decade? More than a decade? We originally met at a conference for writers interested in self-publishing that had absolutely nothing to do with faith, spirituality or religion. Still, that didn't stop us from taking a gloriously deep dive into those topics while sitting in a hotel lobby and continuing long after that conference was over. A gifted writer and rocking-amazing editor, Melanie regularly puts me in the awe zone with her written reflections and devotions. I admire (read: covet) her ability to "break open the Word" in a few hundred words. Her newest book, Sisterhood of Saints: Daily Guidance and Inspiration is the latest fine example of Melanie's ability to inform and inspire. And you know all those book about saints you probably have on a bookshelf? This is one you'll want to keep on your nightstand!
